The industries Hop Tien serves most. Choose yours to see the typical lubrication problems, suitable products and case studies; other industries can send their question straight to an engineer.
Hop Tien engineers survey plants, draw up lubrication charts, analyze oil, run on-machine trials and advise on, maintain and repair air compressors and industrial equipment. This is why customers stay with Hop Tien.
Review every lubrication point in the plant, propose the right product for each one and rationalize the number of lubricants in use.

Lubricants for points with possible incidental food contact, registered with NSF (USA) under FDA 21 CFR 178.3570. Applies to the CASSIDA and LUBCON H1 ranges and the CPI-4600-F and CPI-4265-F air compressor oils.
Hygiene certification for the manufacture of H1 lubricants: raw materials, plant and process are all assessed. A higher requirement than H1 registration alone.
Required by plants exporting to Muslim and Jewish markets. Most CASSIDA H1 products carry both; LUBCON products are listed per item according to the manufacturer's documents.
Heat transfer fluids for heating systems with possible incidental food contact (PARATHERM range).
Release agents permitted in direct contact with food: baking molds, cutting blades, conveyors.
A manufacturer's statement for each product, not a third-party certification like NSF H1 or ISO 21469. It confirms the product contains no mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) or aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH) within the scope stated in the document; some products also carry a PAO-free statement. Food and packaging plants exporting to the EU increasingly ask for it. Hop Tien holds statements from LUBRIZOL Fluid Engineering, LUBCON, FUCHS and CASSIDA for their food-grade ranges; which statement covers which product follows the manufacturer's documents.

Real figures from on-site records and oil-analysis reports; plants are identified by industry and location only.
Objective: verify the hydrocracked mineral air compressor oil CPI-9370-46 under air-compressor conditions in Vietnam (hot discharge, dusty and humid compressor rooms) and use oil analysis to set the change interval for each machine. Six machines at three plants were monitored; this article presents three representative machines. Result: the normal samples held a viscosity of 44–50 mm²/s, within ISO VG 46, and a TAN below 0.5 mg KOH/g up to almost 5,000 hours; the 75 kW machine went on to 7,612 hours on one fill when monitoring ended (last analyzed sample at 4,872 hours); one case of water entering the oil was detected early through routine sampling and dealt with.
Binh Duong (now Ho Chi Minh City), North Central Vietnam, Dong Nai · Aug 2022 – Jul 2023
Objective: fill the ammonia refrigeration compressor oil CPI-1009-68 into four NH₃ screw compressors with 11,400–49,100 running hours without letting old oil and sludge contaminate the new oil. Method: drain the compressor unit and the separator through the machine's oil drain valve, clean the filter, drain every low point until the oil runs clear, and only then pump in the new oil; done during a maintenance stop, without dismantling the machines.
Dong Thap · Oct 2016
Objective: in a station with several machines, choose the oil by each machine's conditions and the base oil in it, and change the oil without carrying old deposits into the new oil. The 132 kW machine runs hot (display reading about 96 °C at the survey) and was on another manufacturer's PAG-based oil; it was switched to CPI-1522-46, a PAG/ester oil of the same family. The 200 kW machine runs cooler and was given the PAO oil CPI-4601-46. Both were drained completely, the separator tanks cleaned and the separator elements and filters replaced before filling; Hop Tien recommends an analysis sample after 500 hours.
Dong Nai · Nov 2018 – Aug 2019Two oils with the same viscosity and the same purpose may still not be interchangeable: different base oil, different seal compatibility, different OEM approvals. Send the product you use and the machine type; a Hop Tien engineer replies within 24 working hours with what needs to be done before changing over.
